Place 1/4 cup red pepper flakes in a pint of water, boil, & let cool. Strain the liquid into a spray bottle and spray the screens. We had a squirrel chewing through the soffit. We sprayed the area and watched. Next day the squirrel returned and after one bite was gone for good. Red pepper flakes among plants also keeps rabbits from eating your flowers.
